I thought I read somewhere that Mike doesnt use a hot foot. Neither does a lot of the people that work at the factory? I think I read that somewhere.96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner

I sometimes wish mine didnt have one…. my ankle gets pretty stiff after about 20mins of driving. That said, Im sure it is a little safer to use the HF.

No Mike does not use a hot foot and keeps that simple. All of those at the factory do not run a hot foot either. No one at BCB direct has a hot foot on their boats. We actually feel not having a hot foot is safer for most users. BCB

Curious as to why its safer without a hotfoot? I have one and I really dont like it. I have a weak leg since my back surgery and it wears my leg out on a long run.

My last boat had one and i thought i loved it. This year with my newer boat, I do not have one, thank God. I made a point to learn certain river systems and that meant really long runs. I will probably never have another hot foot.

You fundamentally land a boat hull, by trimming first in increments to slow a boat down, then you back off the throttle in steps also. Allowing the hull to slow down as it trims into the water. Thus you have propeller, skeg and more control.”
